Photo‐Activated Merging Cascades in Droplet Swarms Upon Synergistic Solvation of Surfactants

Small, EarlyView.
UV activates the motility of UV‐responsive droplets through a decylammonium/carbamate crystalline layer at the air/water interface. Upon merging with immobilized C12E3 surfactant droplets in the layer, hybrid droplets form which dissolve the layer due to synergistic solvation. In large droplet fields, this non‐linear behavior drives cascading events of

When Time Stands Still: The Destructive Experience of Ambiguous Loss among Mothers of Combat Soldiers

Symbolic Interaction, EarlyView.
What happens when stories refuse coherence? This article examines ambiguous loss among mothers of combat soldiers, focusing on how prolonged waiting and uncertainty infiltrate everyday life, eroding sensemaking. Drawing on ethnographic interviews, it explores how mothers experience the contraction of time and space—manifested in suspended routines ...

The Edification of Manuela Xiqués: Slavery, Finance, Biography, and the Construction of Modern Barcelona

Gender &History, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT An analysis of the dual biographies, economic and domestic, of Manuela Xiqués, an enslaver from nineteenth‐century Cuba and Spain, deepens our understanding of the role of European and Creole women in the nineteenth‐century Atlantic. This essay foregrounds the role of literature, namely family biography, as a locus of the processes of ...

A fault-tolerance topology of three-level four-leg NPC inverter

Gong-kuang zidonghua, 2016
In view of problem that it is difficult to accurately locate device failure of inverter, a fault tolerance topology of three-level four-leg NPC inverter was proposed. In the topology, short-circuit fault and open-circuit fault can be located accurately by switching device used when topology changes, so as to provide a basis for fault-tolerant control ...

Iflaviruses in arthropods: when small is mighty

Insect Science, EarlyView.
Many arthropod species harbor iflaviruses, which often cause covert (asymptomatic) infections, but may still affect host fitness. We review the impact of iflaviruses on arthropod fitness, immunity, behaviour as well as the iflavirus’ host range, transmission, tissue tropism and the interactions with other microorganisms within arthropods.

VQ‐Style: Disentangling Style and Content in Motion with Residual Quantized Representations

Computer Graphics Forum, EarlyView.
Abstract Human motion data is inherently rich and complex, containing both semantic content and subtle stylistic features that are challenging to model. We propose a novel method for effective disentanglement of the style and content in human motion data to facilitate style transfer.

Skeletal‐Driven Animation of Anatomical Humans via Neural Deformation Gradients

Computer Graphics Forum, EarlyView.
Abstract Most real‐time animation techniques for digital humans are limited to deforming the outer skin surface. Geometric skinning methods are highly efficient but struggle with artifacts such as collapsing joints or self‐intersections when animating inner anatomy along with the outer skin.

Tangent Blow‐Ups for Processing Non‐Manifold Geometry

Computer Graphics Forum, EarlyView.
Abstract Many geometry processing pipelines implicitly assume their input data is a manifold, or is sampled from one, with a unique tangent plane at every point. Geometric data, however, routinely contains sharp features like edges, corners, self‐intersections, branching junctions, and other singularities, rendering standard methods ill‐defined at ...

A revised classification system of the marronoid clade of spiders (Araneae), based on dense sampling phylogenomics and comparative morphology

Cladistics, EarlyView.
Abstract The marronoid clade is a globally distributed, ecologically diverse group of spiders. It is an important faunal component in both natural and synanthropic environments, and even found in aquatic and extreme habitats such as desert salt flats. The systematics of the marronoid clade has been notoriously unstable due to the widespread character ...
